Young families looking for large homes near one of the most innovative elementary schools in the GTA along with investors looking for tear-down bungalows on expansive lots.
Overview
Once a low-income suburb of Toronto, Glen Park has largely gentrified into a middle to upper class community with convenient shopping, transit options and great schools. This is a culturally-diverse community with large Italian and Jewish populations. Young families have been flocking to the area in recent years because of the value of properties in comparison to Toronto houses for sale further south in exclusive neighbouring areas like Forest Hill North. The reputation of the junior school is another big draw.
There is a geared-to-income pocket near the Allen Expressway where low-income families and new Canadians can still find North York apartments for rent at affordable rates.
Why We Love Glen Park
It Makes the Grade
Glen Park Public School is a fantastic junior school with above average test results and a strong French Immersion program. This is very encouraging to see because so often the public schools in lower to moderate income Toronto neighbourhoods are subpar. Glen Park stands as a model for Toronto public schools giving kids from a variety of cultural and income backgrounds an equal chance to succeed in their studies and in life with special emphasis on social action / equity, technology, athletics and nutrition.Their mission statement underscores this spirit of inclusivity: We teach every student from our diverse community the necessary knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to become responsible, compassionate and productive citizens.
